He mea kanu ka oat a no ka mauʻu ʻono. Aia ma luna o 20 mau ʻano. ʻO ka hapa nui o ka manawa, akā naʻe, manaʻo ka poʻe i ka oats a i ʻole nā oats maoli ke lohe lākou i ka huaʻōlelo. Ua ulu ia e like me ka palaoa, ka raiki, a me na mea e ae. He meaʻai maikaʻi loa ka ʻoats no nā kānaka a me nā holoholona.
ʻO nā mea kanu oat he mauʻu makahiki. Ma hope o hoʻokahi makahiki pono ʻoe e kanu hou iā lākou. Piʻi ka ʻaʻahu hua ma kahi o ka hapalua mika a i ʻole hoʻokahi a me ka hapa mika ke kiʻekiʻe. Ulu mai ke aʻa mai ka ʻaʻa panicle spindle ikaika. Aia ma luna o laila nā panicles, he ʻano lālā liʻiliʻi, a ma ko lākou wēlau he mau spikelets. Aia ma luna o laila ʻelua a ʻekolu mau pua i hiki ke lilo i hua oat.
ʻO nā oats mai ka hema o ʻEulopa, ʻApelika ʻĀkau, a me ʻAsia Hema. ʻAʻole pono e wela loa no ka hua oat, no ka mea, ua nui ka ua. ʻAʻole pono ka lepo maikaʻi loa. ʻO ia ke kumu i ulu ai ma kahakai a kokoke i mauna. ʻO ka lepo maikaʻi, ma kekahi ʻaoʻao, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā mea kanu ʻē aʻe e hoʻohua ai i nā mea kanu.
I ka wā ʻuʻuku a ʻaʻohe kaʻa, pono nā kānaka i nā lio he nui. Ua hānai ʻia lākou me ka ʻoat. ʻOiai i kēia mau lā, ulu nui ʻia ka ʻoats e hānai i nā holoholona e like me nā pipi.

Ma kēia ala, mālama ʻia ka nui o nā minerala a me nā meaʻai. No laila, ʻo ka ʻoats kā mākou ʻai maikaʻi loa. Hoʻopili pinepine ʻia i loko o ka oatmeal a ʻai ʻia pēlā, maʻamau i hui pū ʻia me ka waiū a me nā huaʻai e hana ai i muesli.
